Gallery: 13 Gifts for the Road-Tripping Motorhead in Your Life
0101-Aether-Loop-Jacket-(manufacturer-photo)
[Aether Loop Jacket](http://www.aetherapparel.com/collections/mens-motorcycle-collection/products/loop-moto-jacket). Those diagonal-zip leather skin-protectors are not only sub-par protection in a crash, they can be stiflingly hot unless you're going fast. This textile motorcycle jacket is not only breathable, comfortable, and of a more refined style, it's packed with impact-absorbing D30 pads that are supple until impacted—at which point they stiffen up to protect yer bones. $450
REV'IT! Sport International B.V.0202-Revit-Fairfax-Boots-(manufacturer-photo)
[Revit Fairfax Boots](http://www.revit.eu/en/men/shoes-fairfax.html#0010). Motorcycle boots can be... recognizable. If you need to wear a pair into, say, the real world, you'll want something that protects your feet but doesn't scream *Mad Max*. (Or maybe you're headed for that Misfits throwback show?) Rev'it's Fairfax boots vaguely resemble a pair of Chucks, but pack a hard sole, reinforced toebox and heel cup, and armor around the ankles. $279
0303-AGV-GT-Veloce-(manufacturer-photo)
[AGV GT Veloce with AGVisor](http://www.agv.com/agv_us_en/agvisor/). AGV makes stylish, well-ventilated, safe helmets—and the Veloce ($600 on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/AGV-GT-Veloce-Motorcycle-Helmet-Black/dp/B00TGGJADW/)) is no different. It's the mid-range in their sportbike-oriented line of head protectors. The ace move here, though, is the upgrade: fit this thing with an [AGVisor](http://www.agv.com/agv_us_en/agvisor/), an LCD-enabled shield (the see-through thing that protects your eyes) that darkens at the touch of a button ($179). Ride out in the bright sun, and come back at night without having to pull over and switch out your visor.
0404-Ram-X-Grip-Mount-(manufacturer-photo)
[Ram X-Grip Mount](http://www.rammount.com/products/x-grip). Whether you're in your car or on your bike, this is the phone-holder you want. It's super secure, phone-agnostic, and you don't have to upgrade it when you get a new phone. There are versions for regular phones, big phones, and tablets---and more mounting options than a rodeo frame shop. From $25.70
0505-Battery-Tender-Plus-(manufacturer-photo)
[Battery Tender Plus](http://www.batterytender.com/Automotive/Battery-TenderR-Plus.html). Mmmmm, there's just something about classic cars and bikes: THEY DON'T EFFING START. That's because vehicle electrical systems took a major leap forward in the 80s, and anything from before then is tough to keep fully charged. If your vintage enthusiast doesn't already have one of these in the garage, it might just be the best gift they'll ever get: It trickle-charges any 12-volt system so their pride and joy is always ready for to drive. $70
0606-AO-Original-Pilot-52mm-Sunglasses-(manufacturer-photo)
[AO Original Pilot 52mm](http://aoeyewear.com/shop/#!/Original-Pilot-Sunglasses/p/23447643/category=5539642). Great style, excellent optics, and a reasonable price are the holy trinity of sunglasses-worshippers—these specs are blessed with all three. What makes them saintly on two wheels or four are the available bayonet temples that allow you to put them on and take them off while you're wearing a helmet (or whip them off with a flourish and face the camera with your best Blue Steel). $84
0707-Duluth-Trading-Company-Fire-hose-Tool-Roll-(manufacturer-photo)
[Duluth Trading Company Firehose Tool Roll](http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/product/tool-roll-fire-hose-tool-roll-28017.aspx). Working on your own machine creates a special bond that mere drivers can never understand. It's also hard for the uninitiated to understand why wrenchers want to have their tools on them at all times. Just go with it. And be an enabler: This tool roll, made of water-sheddin surplus firehose, lets the mechanic in your life tote whatever tools he or she wants in a compact, protective package. $50
0808-Leatherman-REV-(manufacturer-photo)
[Leatherman REV](http://www.leatherman.com/rev-423.html). Whether it's being used to open a stubborn bag of chips or to complete an improvised roadside repair, a multi-tool is a must-have for any serious road-tripper. The Rev trades selection for size, but still packs 14 of the most-needed tools—knife, screwdrivers, bottle opener, and some other stuff that is less important than a bottle opener. $34.85
0909-Icebreaker-Zone-One-Sheep-Suit-(manufacturer-photo)
[Icebreaker Zone One Sheep Suit](http://www.icebreaker.com/en/mens-baselayers/zone-one-sheep-suit/102640.htm). Not pictured in the movies espousing the freedom and exhilaration of motorcycling: the miserable cold. Riding is a decidedly un-sheltered affair, and you can't always plan your trips around the weather. Icebreaker's Sheep Suit is like a snuggie you'll leave the house in. Wear it under your riding gear to keep from freezing your ass off. $200
1010-Aerostich-silk-scarf-(manufacturer-photo)
[Aerostich Competition Silk Scarf](http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-silk-scarves.html). No, this is not about aviation cosplay. Er, not *only* about aviation cosplay. Whether in a drop-top or on a bike, a silk scarf is an easily packed piece of additional insulation that has the additional benefit of making you look like Charles Lindbergh. $34
1111-Foursevens-Atom-AL-(manufacturer-photo)
[Foursevens Atom AL](http://www.foursevens.com/products/AL-HE). This LED beaut' might be the most useful flashlight you can get. It's about the size of a chapstick, lasts up to 40 hours, blasts out 110 lumens, and has a magnet on the back that'll let it stick to, say, the underside of your piece of crap car's hood while you figure out why the damn thing stopped in the middle of the road. Also great for blinding friends and searching the ground for that sandwich you dropped. $40
1212-Butler-Maps-(manufacturer-photo)
[Butler Maps Master Collection](https://www.butlermaps.com/motorcycle-road-maps/master-collection/). Yes, your GPS will get you there faster, which is exactly not the point. Your road-loving gift-getter, however, isn't interested in arriving on schedule. (You probably noticed …) These 16 maps prioritize the trip over the destination, detailing awesome loops around some of the best roads and scenery in the country. $150
1313-Humangear-Gobites-Trio-(manufacturer-photo)
[Humangear Gobites Trio](http://www.humangear.com/gobites/). Instead of killing the planet you're exploring by using a different plastic fork at every roadside food stop, BYO: This knife, fork, and spoon collection stows neatly in its own little case, and carries grub from the plate to your maw with ease. (Because it's still just regular flatware, which we figured out a long time ago.) $14
14drink-gallery1.6611ed866d7b
[Soylent 2.0](https://www.soylent.com/product/drink/). Sometimes you get lucky and find a fantastic little mom-n-pop biscuit shed along the road, but more often than not, it's Perkins. Those nasty machine-cut potatoes, paper thin cholesterol bomb bacon strips, and "steak." Blech. Save a life and give the gift of humorless-techie-born, engineered nutrition drink. Your road warrior can pack a couple 400-calorie bottles of Soylent and pull over for a lunch that's more about the best available view than the worst available food. $29/case
